WASHINGTON, February 22d.-There is an
impression abroad tonight that either
Senator Hoar or Senator ingalls, viii be Sc
lected to succeed Senator Sherman as Presi-
dent of the Senate. IL is not known that
either is a candidate for the honor. and the
impression has for It's basis only informal
preliminary talks Of this afternoon among
Senators. In addition to their well-known
standing and long experience, both are ex-
pert parliamentarians. 1t is thought that
the Senator selected will fill the position
no. merely during the recess, but during
the next Congress.

NEW HOTCHKlSS GUNS.
Secretary whitney Places m Order for
the New Navy Ordnance.

shG W." ASuNy
Secretary Whitney has issued the following
statement ''The department has finally
closed contract with the Hotchlliss Ord
nance Company. A branch of their manu-
factory will be established in this country.
Our secondary batteries have heretofore been
made abroad. 1t marks another most i'm.
portant era in the construction of the navy.
Mr.. Hotchkiss was an American, and when
he died in 1884 every important European
nation had a mandatory of Hotchkiss ord
nance. England, France, Germany, Russia
and Italy each had one. By delaying the
giving out of orders we have accumulated
large contract, and the investigations made
by the representatives of the company have
elected the fact that with the superiority of
machinery in use in this country the prices
can be made the same for the arms made here
as made abroad We either had to prepare
to manufacture ourselves or get them to come
here. We cannot be dependent on another
country for our war materials. The ma
chine guns have become an Indispensable
branch of national armament To illustrate
their effectiveness the six-pounder Hothkiss
rapid fire gun is controlled by one man,
aimed from the shoulder, and will discharge
% six-pound shells per minute with velocity
that will penetrate two inches of steel plate
at a thousand yards. They are especially
necessary against torpedo boats and UNI
armored ships and to clear the exposed decks
of ironclads The company is now develop
ing nine FOUNDER and experimenting with a
33-pounder. With the Bethlehem Iron Com
pany contract and this one executed Ameri-
can ship builders will be able to build and
arm war ships entirely from American
manufactures.
Secretary Whitney has also caused to be
published an interesting statement concern
ing the history of the Hotchkiss guns and the
work done by the late Mr. B. b HOtchkiss. I.

MRS. THURBER WANTS HER MONEY!
She Asks that a Receiver BE Appointed
for the National Opera Company.

She Asks that a Receiver BE Appointed
for the National Opera Company.
In the court of chancery, on application OF
Jeanette M. Thurber, Chancellor McGill
granted rule to show cause why an order
should not be granted declaring the National
opera company insolvent and appointing a
receiver to wind up its affairs. The mJunc-
ton is returnable next Wednesday.
The bill filed by Mrs. Thurber gives his
tory of the company's reverses. 1t started
with nominal capital of 100000 and an ac-
tual capital of $1,000 divided into IL shares.
Two of these were held by Jeanette NJ. Thur
Der. The company suspended operations last
June.
1t is said that 3775 shares of stock had beef
issued to different persons, $500 having been
given for property furnished, and the other
for cash. The bill charges that the company
has no assets except the property referred to,
which consists of the usual lines of costumes,
musical instruments, etc. They are said to
have cost S350,000 in stock Mrs. Thurber
also charges that the company is indebted to
her So, 900 for money loaned Last March
chattel mortgage covering all the company's
property was made over to Frank r. Law
renee. Mrs Thurber has begun suit in Hud-
son county to recover the money due her.
Various other suits are pending, s25, 600 being
required to pay the employees. The total LA
bilites, Mrs Thurber thinks, amount to over
100000, not including the chattel mortgage
mentioned. There are not sufficient re-
sources to meet the liabilities, the bill states
Hence the application for a receiver.

Scenes of Despat r In a burning Build-
ing at Chicago.

Fire broke out in the bakery of Christian
Essen on Archer avenue, Chicago, and before
the firemen could reach the people in the
second story two of Essen's children were
suffocated i'll their beds, and 10 other men,
bers of his household, including himself and
the bakers in his employ, were so badly in
jurcd and burned that physicians say they
will all die. The fire started in the ovens of
the bakeshop and spread through the rear of
the building into the second story almost
Immediately. All means of escape for the
sleepers above was cut off, and when the fire
men arrived those who were awake were
rushing about frantically, and continued to
do so until overcome. Although urged to
jump, none of them would do so. The fire
was extinguished in short time, but all the
occupants of the house were dead or dying by
the time they could be taken out into fresh
air Essen and another man were arrested
on suspicion of having set the place on fire.
There were five families living in the build
ing. All were thrown into panic, and none
of the occupants escaped uninjured or with
out being overcome with smoke Seven chill
dren it is thought cannot recover.
